Digital Citizenship Week Thursday

Digital Citizenship Week Thursday - Supporting Student Thinking

Are we speaking the same language?

When school staff and parents speak the same language, it makes a strong impression on kids. Here’s a simple strategy that both parents and school staff can use to help students think through their actions online and consider the impact on themselves, others, and your family or school.

The Spectrum Strategy

  • View it: The Spectrum Strategy
  • Try it: The next time your child or student is facing a digital dilemma and doesn’t know what to do or has undesirable behavior in relation to their online activity, give the Spectrum Strategy a try.
  • Reflect:
  • How did using this strategy change how this conversation might have gone?
  • How does this strategy honor the complexity of choices children face and how did it support the child's thinking?
